Hi,

Perhaps the most classic example of a hoax is "The Great Cabbage Hoax." I 
first heard of it in 1955 when I was taking a college level course in 
discussion and debate.  There are many references to it on The Web.  I warn 
you, the actual hoax was hundreds of words in length.  The definition of the 
word "hoax" shown below tells of the word's purpose and suggests that its 
target itself is not true, i.e., manufactured.
